Covid19 update of urban policy for the Association of Finnish Municipalities

MDI provided a concise overview of urban development in the post-corona period. In addition to the update of urban policy requirements necessitated by the coronavirus, the role of the Association of Finnish Municipalities in the making of urban policy was also addressed. The work was produced for the Association of Finnish Municipalities as a part of the ‘To the City! -project’, in which the Association of Finnish Municipalities sought to stimulate discussion on the future challenges and opportunities of cities. The main purpose of the report was to describe the city-specific effects of the corona crisis. As interpreted by MDI, the Association of Finnish Municipalities needs to address the following key tasks in the next wave of urban policy: information task, development task, networking task, influencing task, European task and communication task.
